Unit 4 - Newton's Law

The magnitude of the gravitational force acting on an object is

Force applied to an object by another object or person

A force is described as _________ or _________ that acts on an object.

1 object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts a force on the first

Force equals mass times acceleration. F=m*a

Frictional force which acts on objects travelling through air.

If the mass of an object is decreased, its inertia

Rockets can be used to specifically illustrate action/reaction which is which Newton’s law?

The result of unbalanced forces

The sum of all forces acting upon an object is known as:

Force transmitted through a string, wire, rope, and or cable when objects are at both ends

Force that opposes motion between two surfaces

Force created when a large object (like a planet) attracts another toward it.

If the sum of all the forces acting on a moving object is zero, the object will

Diagram used to visualize the magnitude and direction of all forces acting upon an object. 

Name the two types of friction

Which object has the greatest inertia?

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

Action & reaction forces do not cancel each other because...

Calculate the mass of an object moving with a 20N force and an acceleration of 5m/s²

Forces only exist as a result of an interaction.

An object persists in uniform motion in a straight line unless disturbed by an unbalanced force

When all the forces acting upon an object balance

What causes an acceleration?

What external force causes a vehicle's forward motion?

What is the correct reaction force: A monkey's southward force on a banana.

Force exerted by a surface as an object moves across it.

The resistance an object to a change in its state of motion.

Which situation describes an object that is in equilibrium?
